Though, some resorts DO require ONLY a 4x4 to get to their lodge, but if you are travelling in a normal Sedan Vehicle, lodges offer a transfer / Shuttle service from Bilene (at a price) to take you to their lodge. Please contact the resort / lodge that you are interested in, for more information regarding this.

We always recommend that you do take a 4x4, because you won't be limited to exploration and you will be able to get around much easier without the possibility of getting stuck.
